The song Are You Up There has long been one that I’ve enjoyed and loved ever since I first heard it, which, being a big time fan of The Osmonds, has been a very long time. Written by the brothers themselves, Are You Up There asks a question …

DOUBLE PLATINUM
Uh oh. Double Platinum was becoming the start of a problem KISS would face: creative burnout and commercialism by way of rereleasing material that had beenout in circulation WIDELY only just recently.
The idea behind this greatest hits package was to release a double album featuringall the top …

I can honestly say I’m not a Taylor Swift fan, and that’s not because I don’t like her it’s just I don’t really fall into her target audience. I prefer to listen to music that caters to my age group and a bit more maturity.
It wasn’t until I was …

Overview - And Justice For All, Metallica’s fourth effort is yet another album filled with thrash metal and what I would consider their angriest and most aggressive, angriest, and most technical album to date. This album is also the first without original bassist, Cliff Burton who was killed in …

Subliminal-just when you thought it was over
Subliminal’s new/ not so new album is something that was destined to get mixed reviews. On one hand, he continues his legacy of excellence and presents us with well crafted and executed songs. On the other hand, it is clear that …

This poster is the first image that comes to mind when someone thinks of Pink Floyd. This is considered by many to be the cover of the best album ever created. Dark Side of the Moon was one of Pink Floyd’s breakthrough albums in the early 70s. …

I lucked up on Ebay and found this electric acoustic guitar for $49. Imagine how shocked I was at seeing this price on a piece of musical equipment. Not only that, the guitar came with a mini electric amplifier. Now, here’s the catch: the shipping …

R. Kelly
“Trapped In The Closet, Part 19″
TP-3 Reloaded

We are now trapped in the church it seems. Part 19 of R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet” series focuses on a very stupid commotion, one that is more retarded than the one between Rosie the nosey neighbor and her husband …

Temptation Inside Your Heart is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their album VU. One thing which should be noted about VU is that the album is not a typical or traditional studio album, it’s an album which is full of outtakes. I choose to point …

Ciara ft. Missy Elliott
“1, 2 Step”
Goodies
LaFace Records
Director: Benny Boom
“1, 2 Step” is Ciara’s follow-up single and music video to “Goodies” off of the album of the same name, “Goodies”. The song is obviously inspired (extremely inspired, I might add) by 1980s electronic music. In the lyrics, Ciara often describes …

I never got into Tupac. I actually find him to be pretty overrated and I was more of a Biggie fan myself. I haven’t heard much of his stuff, but overall it failed to impress me.
The exception to that rule is a track called “California …

I have to say I’m digging Akon’s song Freedom on his new album also titled Freedom. I think the song probably clicks with me because Akon is an immigrant’s son and my parents were immigrants too.
In a time like this when a lot of people don’t like immigrants, a …

I first saw this band performing live on Saturday Night Live. I was interested in the music right away; this music was right up my street. The band performed two songs. The first one was Comeback Kid, and I loved this tune the first time I heard it. …

The Hard Rock band Tesla has always been one of my favorite bands and they were different then most of those glam bands in the Mid 80’s with not only their hard rock looks but with also their Blues/Hard Rock sound. One of the great albums by them …

Cool, Calm, And Collected is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Between The Buttons. The track opens up with a piano bit which seems to have a significant amount of ragtime influence to it, or at least this is how I hear it. Very …

I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea what this song is really about. When I read the lyrics, I think about death. The blue moon reference, and “take me up in your arms” line makes me think that the lead singer is embracing …

I think everyone knows who Madonna is and who Justin Timberlake is and so these two popular singers did a combination in Madonna’s newly released song named “Four Minutes (to save the world)” from her new album entitled Hard Candy. I first heard Four Minutes on the local radio …

Interstellar Overdrive is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their debut record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. If you can’t tell by just the title of the track, I’ll mention that this song has a very space-like sound and it’s also sound quite psychedelic as …

“Break” is a song by Three Days Grace on the album Life Starts Now.
The video is set in four rooms for each of the four band members. I like this video and the concept. The members of the band are separated by four rooms and each has their …

Probably one of the craziest glam bands out there in the eighties that wasn’t very popular back in the day was the glam metal band nitro. They had everything from the highest pitch sreaming from screamer Jim Gillette and the blazing guitar work of Michael Angel Batio. One of …

Best of and greatest hits CD’s are always worth a good review regardless of the singer/band, which is what led me to writing this review. Hope this review will persuade you to by this CD is you haven’t done so already. Good music at any price!
U2 The Best …

Dominated Love Slave is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Kerplunk. Something I should mention immediately about this track is that it certainly does not have the traditional sound of Green Day. For one thing, the instrumentation and music on the track certainly doesn’t have …

I generally do not listen to reggae music, but when I do I usually tend to gravitate to the older types of reggae music like those from the nineteen nineties and sometimes, very rarely, the late eighties. This also means that I tend to prefer certain artistes such as …

Trust me, this album is very special. I remember how I listened to this album for the first time, and how I was impressed by what I heard. I liked the debut album by U2, called Boy. I did not like the second album, October, at all. But then …

As much as i respect John Waite and legacy he has left behind me so far, he isn’t one of my all-time favorites which means i can be properly subjective about his newly released album.
The short version of this is that i class it as a total disappointment, …

Dancing With Mr. D is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Goats Head Soup. The track starts off with a fairly laid-back guitar riff from Richards which seems to have a blues feel to it but the drum rhythm sort of gives the song …

Unintended is a track by Muse which appears on Showbiz, their first record. I just finished a review for Sober which is another track on that record, and in comparison with that track, Unintended sounds a lot different. Whereas Sober was extremely driving and quite aggressive, Unintended is certainly …

I must admit, the one thing that drew me to buying this magazine in the beginning, was the notion of getting a —˜free’ cover Compact Disc at a price equivalent to just under one US Dollar, at the time (around 2006).
I turned out to be a very good buy …

Though I do not consider myself to be as obsessed with John Mayer as many other girls that I know, I am a moderately enthusiastic fan. I enjoy his music and would definitely hear it live if given the opportunity. I recently purchased his “Battle Studies” album. After already …

Truly awesome and I love the lyrics as well. Even though it laced at nothingness, the song …

The first time I heard this one I have no idea about Taylor Swift. I thought it is Vanessa Hudgens singing country song. Speaking of country music, I am not a fan but this is an exception. However, this song sounds like it always puts you to sleep when …

Overview —“ The Day That Never Comes, the first video released by Metallica for the album Death Magnetic, is a video that takes place in an Eastern setting and goes from an approach that Metallica really isn’t gone with before. I do remember an interview where James Hetfield stated …
